5. Tracking Technologies; Third-Party Advertisements

Third parties, including advertisers and analytics companies, may collect information, potentially including Personal Information, about your activities over time and across different websites when you use our Site. Such third parties may provide 3LS with data collection, reporting, ad response measurement, and other analytical information. Such third parties may also assist 3LS with digital delivery of relevant marketing messages and advertisements.

Cookies. Cookies are small data files that are downloaded onto your computer or mobile device when you use the Site, which are unique to your device or account. Cookies make it easier for you to use the Site by saving your preferences so that we can use these to improve your next and subsequent visits to the Site. Cookies help us learn which areas of the Site are useful and which areas need improvement.

You can choose whether to accept certain cookies by changing the settings on your browser or device. Each browser has its own methods for doing this. For detailed instructions on how to disable, block or delete cookies in your browser, consult your browser’s help files or visit How to Manage Cookies. Please bear in mind that if you choose to disable this function, your experience with the Site may be impaired and some features may not work as they were intended. When we use cookies or other similar technologies, we may set the cookies ourselves or ask third parties to do so to help us.

Please note that the Site is not set up to respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals, but it does respond to browser cookies settings. You may opt-out from receiving personalized advertising from some third parties by visiting here. Please note that these choices will not opt you out of receiving advertisements. You will continue to receive generic advertisements. Like many websites, we use analytics, including Google Analytics. You may find out more about how Google Analytics collects and processes data by visiting “How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps” found here. Further, you can elect to directly opt out of Google Analytics using your information by using the opt-out browser add-on, which you can learn about here.

Pixels, Web Beacons. We or our third-party partners may use invisible pixels or beacons on the Site to count how many users access or use certain pages, features or content. This information is collected and reported in the aggregate. We may use this information to improve our current Site offerings, develop new products or services, and target information to you that may be helpful and useful to you based upon your use of the Site.

6. Disclosing Information

9. How We Safeguard Your Information

The security of your data is important to us. We take reasonable measures to protect the security and integrity of your Personal Information, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. Any transmission of Personal Information is at your own risk. By using our Site, you acknowledge and accept these risks. As a result, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you disclose or transmit to us or that are otherwise provided to us, and we cannot be responsible for the theft, destruction, or inadvertent disclosure of information. Any transmission of information is at your own risk.

10. Transfer of Data; Special Notice to Non-U.S. Users

The Site and Content are intended solely for individuals residing within the U.S. If you are visiting from outside of the U.S., please note that you are transferring information about you, including Personal Information, to a country and jurisdiction that may not have the same data protection laws as your country of residence. Because of the nature of our services, you may not have the same rights regarding your Personal Information that you would have interacting with a company in your jurisdiction. By providing us with Personal Information, you consent to the transfer of information about you, including your Personal Information, to the U.S. and other countries and the use and disclosure of information about you, including your Personal Information, as described in this Privacy Policy. We may store, access or otherwise process Personal Information outside of the U.S. as well.

Your information, including Personal Information, may be transferred to – and maintained on – computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction.

If you are located in a country outside the U.S. and submit Personal Information to us, you consent to the general use and disclosure of such information as provided in this Privacy Policy and to the transfer to, and/or storage of that information in, the U.S. and other countries outside your home country.

11. Policy on Children’s Information

The Site is not created for anyone under the age of 18 (“Children” or “Child”). By using the Site, you represent that you are at least 18 years old. If you do not meet this age requirement, then you must not access or use our Site.

We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from anyone under the age of 18, and we do not target the Site to Children. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your Child has provided us with Personal Information, please contact us though one of the methods listed under “How to Contact Us” above. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Information from Children without verification of parental consent, we take reasonable steps to remove that information from our servers.
